I
The Blue and the Gold,
UNO-R it is you we defend,
Fearless for you,
Our might to the fight we lend
II
So wave, colors wave,
We will fight for your own glory,
The Blue and the Gold,
We will fight till the fight is won!
Refrain:
Our colors stand for victory!
UNO-R team fights for glory!
We will cheer for you and stand by you!
